Cleft Care Packages

Our Cleft Care Packages include feeding tools, practical parent-to-parent education, and a little something special for your baby.

Why specialty feeding tools matter: Babies born with a cleft palate typically need specialty bottles because they cannot create the suction needed to feed effectively from a standard bottle. These feeding systems allow babies to get milk through compression rather than suction. Babies with a cleft lip alone may not need specialty bottles. Your cleft care team can guide you in choosing and using the right feeding system for your child.
